Special notes:
~ I've been playing a serious game of catch-up, coming off of piles of
gigs and writing work. You're gonna receive the last month of playlists
in groups of two, as we also add the show to the Audio Archives at
www.beats.to The June 11 and June 18 shows are now available.
~ Tune in Monday July 16 for an interview with L.A. based producer The
Angel, who comes to town Friday July 20 for a gig at the Orange Room
(I'll be warming up the decks at that one as well). Also look out for
ticket giveaways to this gig, to PTR's 'Devolution' event, Shifting
Gears featuring Bougie Soliterre and much more.

Pick of the Week: Micatone's Nine Songs (No Zession/Sonar Kollektiv), a
sweet
collection of modern day jazz as big band boogaloo meets bossa,
breakbeats, and
string quartets, all naturally morphing into a free-floating sound all
Micatone’s own.
This four-piece band creates from the ground up, all the way live, and
with the
vocals of Lisa Bassenge sliding sweetly over doublebass, crisp drums,
rich keys
and more, it's something special. Much niceness indeed.

Guests: The rotating door was in place as we had guests galore. First up
to the mic and bringing in some advance CD-R goodies were Lex from
Legion of Green Men and Jay Irwin aka Watershell. Legion has a brand new
collection of remixes they’ve done for a number of artists, themselves
included. Look for Incarnate Perspective in independent record shops
‘round town or check their soon to be completed Post-Contemporary
website for contact info: http://www.interlog.com/~pcon/
Watershell may be best known for releases and remixes found on both the
Post-Contemporary and Interchill labels, but he’s also hard at work on a
debut album. Listen to the archive for an advance listen, and keep your
eyes ‘n ears tuned to Germany’s Echo Beach label, via which Watershell
has been dropping some other gems. Don’t sleep on his "Deep Field View"
for example!
Later in the show, locally based and internationally respected house
producer and DJ Nick Holder dropped by to spin a wee set and to have a
little chat. As he grows closer to release #100 on his DNH label, and
releases solid album after solid album (Underground Alternatives on
Bristol’s NRK is the latest and perhaps greatest), Nick only grows more
diverse and accomplished. Check his new mix CD, Nightlife: 05, also out
on NRK.

Pick of the Week: V/A: Abstract Afro Lounge III, the fine folks at Nite
Grooves / King Street come absolutely correct with this incredible
collection of African inspired gems. Percussion and rhythms are right up
front, and the mix of sounds is stellar. With a list of contributors
including Anthony Nicholson, Kerri Chandler, Blaze, DJ Spinna, Ananda
Project, Grupo Batuque and others, how could it be otherwise?

Guests: As we headed towards Les/Gay/Bi/Trans Pride Week 2001 here in
Toronto, this was a Pride-filled special with a number of great guests
joining us. Anna Camelleri of Supporting Our Youth (SOY) and Sokes Yoon
aka DJ Wasabi spoke at length of SOY organized events happening that
week, with Wasabi spinning a mini-set afterwards. DJ James St. Bass,
former longtime host of CIUT’s Harddrive show (an influential house
music original in T.O.), hopped on the decks and mic soon after, giving
us an update on his activities. Catch their DJ sets, archived as part of
this show!
